"We haven't been together that long and there is plenty to work on. The Australians showed some top-class finishing and we have a much better understanding of where we are now," he said.

Australia fly-half-cum-center Stephen Larkham emerged from the match with a shoulder problem but the Wallaby management seemed far more concerned about giant lock Dan Vickerman's longstanding knee injury which could now need surgery.

The Wallabies face Italy next Saturday, play Ireland on Nov. 19 and conclude their European tour against Scotland on Nov. 25.
